Connection to the gas supply, or conversion from one type of gas to another, should only be undertaken by an approved
and registered gas installer in strict accordance with local and national safety and building regulations.
x
Check with your local gas supplier about the type of gas and its calorific value, and compare this information with the type
of gas quoted on the cooktop data plate.

WARNING
: Special care must be taken to ensure adequate ventilation / aeration (
a
= min. 100 cm
2
). The gas cooking
appliance use may cause heat, humidity and products of combustion in the room where is installed. Ensure that the
kitchen is well ventilated especially when the appliance is in use: keep open any natural ventilation holes or install a
mechanical ventilation device (mechanical extractor hood). Prolonged intensive use of the appliance may call for
additional ventilation, for example opening of a window, or more effective ventilation, for example increasing the level of
mechanical ventilation where present.
Connection
x
Also supplied with the appliance is an adapter for liquid gas, a taper male, and a non-
metal gasket (only with some models).
x
On the lower side, the appliance is fitted with a gas connection plug with a thread.
x
When connecting, the knee should be held firmly to prevent it from rotating.
x
For sealing of the connection joints, use a non-metal approved gaskets and approved
sealants.
x
The gaskets should only be used once. The thickness of the flat non-metal gaskets
should not be deformed more than by 25 percent.
x
To connect the appliance to the gas supply, use a tested and certified flexible hose.
x
The flexible connection hose should be able to move freely, it should not come into
contact with the movable parts of the furniture or the bottom of the appliance.
x
After connecting the appliance, check the joints for any leaks.
A
ISO7-1 R1/2 connection plug
B
Non-metal gasket with thickness of 2 mm
C
Pipe adapter for liquid gas (depending on the model)
Only use pipes and seals in accordance with the Standards
. These pipes must be
installed so that, when fully extended, their length does not exceed 2000 mm. For easier
installation and to prevent gas leaks, attach the swivel coupling to the appliance first, and
then to the gas mains pipe. Inverting this sequence may hamper the gas seal between
the pipe and the appliance.
When the installation is complete:
x
Check that all couplings are completely sealed by using a soapy solution, never
use a flame;
x
Ensure that the flexible pipe cannot come into contact with any moving part of the
cooktop (e.g. drawer) and that it is not in a position where it could be damaged;
x
Check the burners for correct operation. The flames must be clearly visible, and
should be blue and green at the center. If the flame is unstable, increase the
minimum power.
